Incredible facts
Can you imagine a world in which there is no deception? It is unlikely that anyone will have enough imagination to realize how much we will lose or how much we will gain if we stop lying to each other. The man is lying
every day, so the skills of bringing an interlocutor to clean water will be useful to everyone.
Moreover, each of us has once made mistakes about people. At such moments, we think about how it was possible not to immediately notice that the person is unreliable and cannot be relied on. And it also happens that we simply cannot find a common language with someone because we did not bother to observe the person in order to create his portrait.
But how do you really get to know a person? Colleague, potential partner, friend? There are a lot of articles on the Internet like “ask these questions to really get to know a person.” But how do you imagine this? Do you sit a person in front of you and start interrogating them? Not many people will agree to this.

The other extreme is to believe that a person can only be known over a long period of time. However, coach John Alex Clark is confident that the key in this matter is not time, but observation and the ability to connect the information received into one chain.
There are several very simple and at the same time powerful techniques that will help you identify patterns in a person’s behavior and learn about his character. Let's talk about them.
Character traits
Character traits are stable and unchangeable patterns of behavior. Characteristic personality traits are divided into 2 types: leading (general development of character traits) and secondary (main directions of a person’s psychological characteristics). Leading traits reflect the basic essence of character and show its main manifestations.
Depending on social conditions and the sphere of a person’s life, only some character traits appear. For example, the influence of negative factors will provoke an aggressive reaction in a person. However, this does not mean that the person is by nature angry and irritable.
The character of each person is classified into 4 groups:
- The basis of personality, accompanied by honesty and insincerity, integrity and cowardice, courage and cowardice.
- Relationships with others - respect, contempt, kindness, anger, sympathy, hostility.
- Attitude towards one’s own person – pride, modesty, shyness, vanity, self-criticism.
- Attitudes towards professional activities, characterized by hard work, laziness, responsibility, irresponsibility, activity, passivity.
Character traits are formed on the basis of the social environment and a person’s personal attitude towards it. The attitude of an individual to any type of activity is determined by his relationship to other persons. When interacting with other people, a person may experience tension, activity, indifference, goodwill, and hostility. The main direction in the formation of personality is the attitude towards other persons and the correct assessment of one’s own person.

You can indicate the number of the enforcement proceedings or your full name, with the middle name being an optional field. In general, we write the first and last name, and then study the database.
Manifestation of character
The manifestation of character is embedded in the structure of the personality, which is influenced by its positive and negative traits. In the absence of clearly defined character traits, significant changes occur in its structure. A person's moral values and beliefs are the main and determining factor in the formation of character. They contribute to the establishment of a long period of manifestation of individual behavior.
A person’s character has a close relationship with his stable and stable interests. The lack of correct perception of the surrounding world, the lack of self-sufficiency and independence of the individual leads to unstable characteristics of the individual. However, with a person’s stable focus and perseverance, the depth of interests increases noticeably.
To determine the characteristic features of a person, you should pay attention to his attachments and hobbies. It is necessary to analyze the actions a person performs in a variety of situations. The directions of all life activities of the individual and his actions lead to the formation of spiritual and material needs. The complex of characteristic features of a person and his qualities depend on real achievements, and not on the presence of intellectual abilities.
People who eat a lot of sweets are often nicer than others
Research has convincingly proven that people you constantly catch with candy in their hands are often nicer to talk to and do more good deeds. They often turn out to be more polite and compassionate than those who prefer to satisfy a slight hunger with, say, chips instead of chocolate.
Character and temperament
A person’s character and temperament have a close relationship with each other. Character is a complex of individual characteristics and qualities of a person that determine his own actions in relation to other people. Temperament is a set of properties of mental activity that have a significant impact on behavioral reactions. Temperament manifests itself under the influence of the nervous system, and character develops against the background of the human psyche and is formed throughout life under the influence of the environment.
Temperament is the strength of the manifestation of emotions, actions, deeds, impressionability and various individual characteristics of the psyche. Temperament is an innate feature of a person, accompanied by the course of behavioral and mental processes that shape him as a personality in the social environment. Temperament is characterized by intensity, duration of mental processes, and external behavioral reactions.

Character types
Types of human character
In psychology, there are many theories of various directions. Most of them relate to a person's character, which are divided into several types.
Kretschmer's theory
The German scientist divided the personality and character of a person into 3 main groups, in each of which he identified people with certain physiological data:
- Asthenics have a thin physique, thin arms and legs, and weakened muscles. Individuals correspond to Kretschmer's typology and have the character of a schizothymic type of person. Such people have stubbornness, a low level of adaptation to environmental changes, and isolation.
- Athletic people have a consistently strong, muscular body. Personalities are characterized by calmness, responsibility, practicality, and authority. Sometimes they show restraint and kindness.
- Picnics have a fairly dense figure. Most of these people are overweight. Picnics have a large head, short neck and small facial features. The character is characterized by sociability and instant adaptation to changing conditions.
Jung's theory
Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist K.G. Jung created a simple and at the same time deep classification of characters, expressed in the interaction of the conscious and unconscious. The scientist identified people in psychology by character as follows:
- Extroverts engage in activities and exhibit emotional responses that are influenced by the world, people, and events around them. Such people are pleasant and sociable interlocutors, cheerful, open, positive. Extroverts try to participate in all areas of their life and do not think about their own health at all.
- Introverts in most cases rely on their own feelings, experiences and worries. It is quite difficult for people around to understand such a person. Introverts have isolation, suspiciousness, a feeling of loneliness, and a desire to analyze all events and circumstances.
- Ambiverts are characterized by individual psychological characteristics and a complex of characters related to extroverts and introverts. Such people are amazing analysts, have a subtle soul and are prone to the desire to be alone. The character has charisma, humor, and wit.
Hippocratic theory
The ancient physician and thinker Hippocrates is the main creator of the ideas of human essence and life activity. The concepts developed by Hippocrates were constantly revised and studied. Several centuries ago, his theory was confirmed, consisting of a psychological classification of human character:
- Cholerics are passionate, hot-tempered, and sometimes aggressive individuals. They do not know how to control their emotions and reactions when exposed to irritating factors in the surrounding world. Choleric people are subject to regular outbursts of anger, sudden changes in emotional state and sudden changes in behavior.
- Sanguine people are characterized by fun, positivity, active mobility, a stable emotional background and quick reactions to external factors. Such people are goal-oriented and productive.
- Phlegmatic people are considered consistently restrained people who lack the expression of their own emotions. Such individuals have a balanced psyche, tenacity and perseverance in their professional activities.
- Melancholic people have impressionability, stable vulnerability, and worries about their own failures. When irritating factors arise, melancholic people exhibit sharp and hot-tempered reactions.
